It was me who posted there. I got the D0 stepping for
In Bangalore, Pavan Computers, SP Road
Rs.14,500 : Without VAT
Rs.15,080 : With 4% VAT
The purchase was made on 25th April 2009. Since I was purchasing the whole system with them, maybe I got a discounted price. Also, I am a regular customer for his shop. Also the price might vary day to day.
FYI, someone(shop owner ... don't want to disclose) told me that this: The main dealers were getting it from the importers for around Rs.14,350 & then selling it to the shops for around Rs.14,500 - Rs.15,000. So the shopkeepers price it accordingly depending on the amount of profit they want. This is for Bangalore. Dunno about other cities. I think that the 4 Metros will be cheapest followed by the other metros like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chandigarh etc.
